Bush cucumbers
« on: June 20, 2011, 13:40 »
Hello.

I'm growing bush cucumbers for the first time and wanted to know if I should stake them or not.  The seed packet doesn't mention it but they seem to be wanting to creep along the veg patch instead of growing into a bush :unsure:
What is it about my kitchen that is so more appealing to the chickens than the back garden!!!   ;-)

I am growing one of these, and have put a small cane in to support it.  Will see how it goes, and whether it needs another to make a frame around it.

I grew some last year and they did spread sideways a bit like some courgettes do, but they don't spread far.
I didn't bother with a cane just left 'em to get on with it :D
